The X100 LP should be appreciated as more of an experimental format rather than a musical piece. The scratches that Brinkmann has etched on the original acetate is calculatively done (mathematically) to stimulate a different perception of sound depending on your orientation in a listening room. (I'm not too sure what effect this might have through headphones) In a sense this is indeed a psychoacoustical experiment and the record is more a mechanism for sound exploration through the ears of the listener. If one also looks into the grooves of the vinyl when it is played, there is some sort of association between the light reflections on the record and the subtle beat variations. Curious? Well that's Brinkmann for you!
